Climbing in Iceland

Here is 16 year old veteran ice climber Tim Emmett climbing Iceland's Myrdalsjokull Glacier.

Emmett and climbing partner Dawn Glanc spent ten days exploring new routes and meeting locals. Initially they were looking for an icefall to climb but during their time in Iceland the weather was having a warm spell so had to find a glacier instead.

This certainly is a surreal moment and looks stunning!

Skiing in Chile

Would you ever go skiing in Portillo, Chile, overlooking Laguna del Inca? Chris Davenport certainly did! And just look at that view - isn't it simply amazing.

Portillo is truly one of the world's most unique ski destinations. There is no town, just a old hotel at the foot of the lake high in the Andes, which caters to all skiers and boarders, families to freeriders.

We are certainly jealous - wish we could be there.
